Purpose: Cutaneous metastases as an extrahepatic metastasis from hepatomas (HCC) is extremely rare and always carry a poor prognosis and less survival time. Previously, there has been a limited number of literature that reported skin metastasis in a large number of cases, which has rarely been discussed in the empirical treatment and therapy of cutaneous metastasis, especially for non-iatrogenic implantation. It is necessary to discuss this kind of metastasis. Patients and methods: We summarize cases from our medical center from 2013 to 2021, there are 12 patients diagnosed with non-iatrogenic implantation of cutaneous metastasis after HCC. We conducted the investigation of the clinical prognosis, pathological characteristics, and treatment of those patients. Results: All patients were male, the age ranged from 21 to 71 years old, the average size of primary HCC was over 5 cm, there was four patient's cutaneous metastasis from the skin of head (including scalp and occipital region), followed by right abdominal (2 patients), right chest wall (2 patients), back (2 patients), umbilical (1 patient), gluteal region (1 patient). The cutaneous metastases presented as solitary or multiple nodules, papules, and erythema without ulcers with sizes between 0.5 cm and 5 cm. 7 patients died after being diagnosed with cutaneous metastasis within 2–19 months. Conclusions: The rate of non-iatrogenic implantation cutaneous metastasis is low, but the prognosis is poor, combining with histopathological analysis and history of diseases can be helpful in diagnosis. For large HCC (> 5 cm), systematic treatment is recommended to prevent the occurrence of cutaneous metastasis and improve the prognosis after hepatectomy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The intermediate conductance calcium‐activated potassium channel (KCa3.1) plays an important role in maintaining intracellular calcium homeostasis and is involved in the tumorigenesis of many human cancers. However, it is unknown whether KCa3.1 plays a role in the genesis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), one of the most common malignant tumors worldwide with a very poor prognosis. In our study, we found that the expression of KCa3.1 was significantly elevated in poorly differentiated HCC tissues compared to adjacent noncancerous tissues. In vitro and in vivo experiments showed that KCa3.1 could promote cell proliferation, migration, and invasion of HCC. Mechanistically, KCa3.1 promoted cell cycle progression and migration and invasion of HCC cells by activating S‐phase protein kinase 2 (SKP2) to trigger the degradation of p21 and p27 and targeting Reelin (RELN) to induce epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT), respectively. Taken together, our results demonstrate that KCa3.1 plays an important role in the genesis and progression of HCC, implying that it might be a promising therapeutic target in HCC. What's new? The calcium‐activated potassium channel KCa3.1, which regulates cell volume and intracellular calcium homeostasis, is thought to influence the development of various cancers, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Here, the expression of KCa3.1 was found to be significantly elevated in poorly differentiated HCC tissues compared with adjacent noncancerous tissues. In HCC cell lines, expression of KCa3.1 promoted cell cycle progression via activation of the cell cycle regulator SKP2, with subsequent p21 and p27 degradation. KCa3.1 expression further promoted migration and invasion via RELN targeting to induce epithelial‐mesenchymal transition. KCa3.1 may be a promising target for the development of novel HCC therapies.

Integrin subunit alpha 3 (ITGA3) interacts with a beta 1 subunit to form a member of the integrin family. Integrins are heterodimeric integral membrane proteins that serve as cell surface adhesion proteins. In this research, we investigated the biological function of this protein in human intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) for the first time. Here, using Western blotting and immunohistochemistry assays, we discovered that ITGA3 was overexpressed in ICC cell lines and ICC patients. Moreover, we found ITGA3 expression correlated with several clinicopathological features, including tumor size, lymph node metastasis, and the TNM stage. Patients with high ITGA3 expression underwent a worse prognosis after complete resection compared with patients with low ITGA3 expression in terms of overall survival. Furthermore, we demonstrated that ITGA3 could significantly promote ICC cell proliferation and cell cycle progression
in vitro . However, as a classical cell surface adhesion molecule, we found ITGA3 correlated negatively with the migration and invasion of ICC cell lines, which differs from other malignant tumors. Generally, these findings suggest that ITGA3 may play a role as a potential oncogene in ICC and suppression of ITGA3 expression may establish a novel target for guiding the therapy of ICC patients.

Aim Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is an inflammatory biomarker that has a close relationship with tumor progression and metastasis. In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of NLR in the prognosis of male candidates with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) undergoing liver transplantation (LT). Methods We analyzed the clinical data of 248 male HCC candidates who underwent LT in our Liver Transplantation Center between 2002 and 2012. All risk factors were analyzed by univariate and multivariate Cox analysis and survival rates were calculated by Kaplan-Meier log-rank test. Results NLR was proved to be an independent risk factor affecting overall survival (OS) ( P < 0.001) and tumor-free survival (TFS) ( P = 0.003) of male candidates with HCC following LT. Additionally, our study showed that elevated NLR (>4) was associated with early tumor recurrence by Kaplan-Meier analysis. Furthermore, we established Model_OS and Model_TFS to predict prognosis based on multivariate Cox analysis. Our study showed that male candidates with HCC who exceeded the Milan criteria but within Model_OS could achieve similar OS as those within the Milan criteria ( P = 0.220). Similarly, male patients who exceeded the Milan criteria but within Model_TFS could achieve similar TFS as those within the Milan criteria ( P = 0.197). Conclusion Proper inflammatory response may effectively reduce tumor recurrence after LT. Elevated NLR (>4) within a certain range is associated with early tumor recurrence. NLR-based models are efficient and safe for prognostic prediction among male candidates with HCC for LT. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. They can occur anywhere in the gastrointestinal tract, and rarely outside the digestive tract. We herein report a case of primary gastrointestinal stromal tumor that was resected from the liver of a 56-year-old male, which is the sixth description of a primary hepatic gastrointestinal stromal tumor. The tumor was shown to be completely limited within the liver by radiological, intraoperative and pathological examinations. The pathological results demonstrated an intermediate risk gastrointestinal stromal tumor, and immunohistochemical expression of CD117 was positive. Although rare, we suggested that GISTs should be considered in the differential diagnosis of hepatic nodules, and that not all hepatic gastrointestinal stromal tumors should automatically be considered to be metastases from a primary gastrointestinal site.

Background/Aims: The selection criteria for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) as candidates for deceased donor liver transplantation (DDLT) are well studied. In this era of limited deceased donor organs, the value of living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) for HCC remains controversial. The aim of the present study was to verify the stratification value of the Hangzhou criteria for LDLT. Methods: The data of 47 LDLT recipients and 94 matched DDLT recipients at our center were evaluated. Overall survival and tumor-free survival were calculated. Prognostic factors influencing post-liver transplantation (LT) survival were identified. The stratification values of the Hangzhou criteria and Milan criteria were compared. Results: LDLT recipients spent much less time on the waiting list. The post-LT survival of recipients fulfilling the Milan criteria and recipients fulfilling the Hangzhou criteria were comparable (P>0.05). The overall and tumor-free survival did not differ statistically between the two groups. In both groups, more recipients not meeting the Milan criteria but with a satisfactory outcome were identified by the Hangzhou criteria. Among recipients who did not meet the Hangzhou criteria, tumor-free survival was better for the LDLT recipients than the DDLT recipients (P = 0.024). Conclusions: The Hangzhou criteria are reliable for stratifying HCC patients in terms of prognosis. HCC patients fulfilling the Hangzhou criteria gain satisfactory survival from LT. Outcomes after LDLT are better than those after DDLT for HCC patients who do not meet the Hangzhou criteria. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A recent study has shown that nanosecond pulsed electric fields (nsPEF) can affect the intracellular structures of melanoma within weeks. nsPEF is a non-drug, non-thermal treatment using ultrashort, intense pulsed electric fields with nanosecond durations. In the current study we followed up melanoma histopathology and metastasis with tissue micro-array 5 months post-nsPEF. After nsPEF treatment, tumor growth, tumor histology, metastasis, peri-tumor vessel and micro-vessel density were examined for the effect of nsPEF treatment on melanoma in vivo. The 17 nsPEF-treated mice were tumor-free for 169 days, significantly longer than those 19 control mice bearing melanoma without nsPEF. Histopathology follow-up showed that melanoma did not recur to the primary injection place after complete elimination. Compared with the control tumor, nsPEF-treated tumors present decreased micro-vessel density in a time-course manner in this survival study. Treatment with nsPEF caused continuous histopathological changes in melanomas, eliminated melanoma without recurrence at the primary site and prolonged animal survival time by inhibiting tumor blood supply and leading to tumor infarction. Thus, nsPEF could be applied in a non-ionizing therapeutic approach, without other agents, to locally treat tumors within a defined boundary. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Pseudogenes are a subclass of long non-coding (lnc) RNAs that arose from protein-coding genes, but have lost the ability to produce proteins. Pseudogenes play an important role in the pathogenesis of various tumors; however, the role of pseudogenes in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is poorly understood. In this study, we investigated a novel pseudogene, PDIA3P1, which was upregulated in HCC tissues compared with paired normal adjacent tissues. The expression of PDIA3P1 was significantly correlated with tumor size, metastasis, TNM stage, and overall stage. Knockdown of PDIA3P1decreased proliferation, migration, and invasion of HCC cells. PDIA3P1 knockdown also promoted cell apoptosis and inhibited tumor growth in vivo. We performed a GeneChip assay to investigate the underlying mechanism of PDIA3P1 action on biological function, and our results suggested that PDIA3P1 may promote proliferation and inhibit apoptosis of liver cancer cells by inhibiting the p53 pathway. Thus, our data suggest that PDIA3P1 acts as an oncogene in HCC and could be a potential prognostic marker and therapeutic target for HCC. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a highly aggressive malignancy. Nanosecond pulsed electric field (nsPEF) is a new technology destroying tumor cells with a non-thermal high voltage electric field using ultra-short pulses. The study’s aim was to evaluate the ablation efficacy of nsPEFs with human HCC cell lines and a highly metastatic potential HCC xenograft model on BALB/c nude mice. The in vivo study showed nsPEFs induced HCC cell death in a dose dependent manner. On the high metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma cell line (HCCLM3) xenograft mice model, tumor growth was inhibited significantly in nsPEF-treated- groups (single dose and multi-fractionated dose). Besides a local effect, the nsPEF treatment reduced pulmonary metastases. The nsPEFs also enhanced HCC cell phagocytosis by human macrophage cell (THP1) in vitro. The nsPEF is efficient in controlling HCC progression and reducing its metastasis. NsPEF treatment may elicit a host immune response against tumor cells. This study suggests nsPEF therapy could be used as a potential locoregional therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: N-myc downstream-regulated gene 1 (NDRG1) has been reported to be a multifunctional protein associated with carcinogenesis, however, the cellular function of NDRG1 remains elusive in human cancers. Here, our proteomics profile analysis of HCC tissues with different metastatic capabilities revealed that NDRG1 was correlated with metastasis and recurrence in HCC patients after liver transplantation (LT). Immunohistochemical staining of 143 HCC patients after LT showed that NDRG1-positive expression had poor prognosis, either for shorter disease-free survival or overall survival (P <0.001), compared with NDRG1-negative expression. Multivariate analysis confirmed NDRG1 as an independent prognostic value (P <0.001). In addition, in vitro experiments HCC cells with small interfering RNA against NDRG1 significantly suppressed its proliferation, colony formation, invasion and migration ability. Microarray analysis revealed that NDRG1 modulated the expression of genes associated with transmembrane transporter activity, chemoattractant activity, immune response, cell adhesion and cell proliferation process. Taken together, these results suggested that NDRG1 was an important molecule in controlling HCC metastasis and thus suggested as a novel biomarker for predicting HCC recurrence after LT.
